<P>Just signed up as a freelancer. I know client wants me to work next week. Is there more to do besides setting up profile?&nbsp; Like direct deposit or will I get actual checks sent to me?</P>Fri, 15 Feb 2019 16:11:44 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564100#M343283ekrupp2019-02-15T16:11:44ZRe: getting paidhttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564112#M343285
<P>Yes, there is more to do. Have you looked at all the help articles available under the question mark on your account page? It's a good idea to spend a little time learning how the site works before doing any work, so you know what to expect. And no, checks are not mailed to you.</P><P><BR /><A href="https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/Getting-Started-on-Upwork/m-p/264214#U264214" target="_blank">https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/Getting-Started-on-Upwork/m-p/264214#U264214</A></P><P><BR /><A href="https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/Tips-to-Avoid-Questionable-Jobs/td-p/240833" target="_blank">https://community.upwork.com/t5/New-to-Upwork/Tips-to-Avoid-Questionable-Jobs/td-p/240833</A></P>Fri, 15 Feb 2019 16:48:33 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564112#M343285mtngigi2019-02-15T16:48:33ZRe: getting paidhttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564116#M343289

You just signed up and you have a client already? That is great, but not the norm. Be sure to agree on the task, be hired, and just generally stay safe!</P>Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:03:08 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564190#M343315martina_plaschka2019-02-15T20:03:08ZRe: getting paidhttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564205#M343324
Thanks for your reply. The only reason I'm on Upwork is because this client<BR />said that's how they deal with freelancers - so I needed to sign up to get<BR />the work they were offering. Yes, I know it's not the usual way things<BR />happen.<BR />Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:53:58 GMThttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564205#M343324ekrupp2019-02-15T20:53:58ZRe: getting paidhttps://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/getting-paid/m-p/564324#M343385
